Hi, We have a spring mvc rest api that uses spring-security, oauth2 for security. Alongside we also use ES. I'm wondering if there is a recommended way to integrate ES, Spring-security etc... I found a number of related projects on github today including a jetty integration and a security plugin (but it isn't a spring-security integration) If I wanted to leverage our existing spring-security-oauth setup how might I go about getting started. Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated. In particular, I wonder if this is a valid use of the plugin architecture.
